Lucas: Where’s the Protect Act for Mass. crime victims? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Gov. Maura Healey ought to consider issuing a Protect Act for Massachusetts citizens. It might help save lives. It might also help her get reelected. The new legislation would be like her law protecting illegal immigrants from being scooped up and deported by ICE. Only this time it would apply to ordinary law-abiding citizens who unfortunately become victims of criminals who do not belong in the country in the first place. ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) is the “rogue” agency that was
Lucas: Gas tax cuts DOA on Beacon Hill (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The state’s 24-cent gas tax is going nowhere, no matter who is governor. This is Taxachusetts, remember? It’s a place where taxes go up, not down. But residents can at least thank Republican gubernatorial candidate Mike Minogue for making an issue out of suspending the state’s 24 cent per gallon gas tax in the wake of soaring gas prices. The well-heeled former medical device company CEO, running as a “new” kind of governor, proposed a “gas tax holiday” whenever gas rises to over $4 a gallon. It
Lucas: What if politics actually worked? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Question Three on the November ballot is good, but it could be better.

Read excerpt
Lee Atwater was as tough — or as dirty — as they come, depending on your political point view. He was the young, articulate and charming Republican mastermind behind the racist Willie Horton television attack ad that wrecked Massachusetts Democratic Gov. Michael Dukakis’ 1988 campaign for president. President Donald Trump has resurrected the almost 40-year-old ad and is now using it on the campaign trail to help Republicans maintain control of Congress in the November mid-term election. Willie H
Lucas: Traditional Dem values now in GOP — RFK Jr. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If it were not strange enough for a Kennedy to address a Republican convention, it was even more jarring to listen to what he said. He tore the Democratic Party — the party of his historic family — apart. The Democratic Party, he said, “lost its way,” and has become a party that neither his father nor his uncle would recognize today. The Kennedy in question is Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the maverick of the Democratic Kennedy clan, who also happens to be Republican President Donald Trump’s activist
